“Painting contest will give an idea about our children's thoughts”

Stating that the MopArt painting contest was taken early this year due to the coronavirus and will add excitement to the time children spend at home, MOPAK General Manager Ruhi Molay said, “It is very valuable to notice the psychological change in children who have witnessed news and outbreaks for a long time at home with us. Besides the colors and lines they prefer, the figures used shed light on the subconscious of children. Based on these pictures, we should consult the experts and create a basis to minimize the psychological effects of the pandemic on children.”
